    Glass or plastic would be an issue. If its glass, I think everyone would say yes, that its fine to use it. If its plastic, some would be concerned about the type of plastic, leeching, and oxygen permeability.

    Check the bottom of the demijohn...there should be a recycle code on it..looks like a triangle and has a number in the middle. If it has a 1 in there, it should be fine. Most likely it has a 7 and I have read that is not good.
